Just one - 1921 Nobel prize (physics). Curiously, rather than receiving an award for his more famous work on relativity, he won it for his work on the photoelectric effect, which was responsible, in part at least, for the development of quantum theory. It is arguable that, given the work that had been done previously by the likes of, for example, Lorentz, relativity was a theory waiting to happen, whereas the photoelectric effect was much more novel and far-reaching in its effects.
